Even if you do... they package their free games in the form of a .rga file (amg-beachpartycraze.rga) so that we will 'need' their installer to unwrap and install the game. There is a way around it all and if you can find it then their back door is wide open for a download manager, but is it legal? Nope?<br /> My two cents: if logging in and using their slow installer are GameHouse's conditions to get the free games then maybe we should just accept that.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Lan </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/534#post-54351 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:34:03 +0000 SpodoCommodo 54351@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions; I have them already but IDM is the latest I felt like giving a try to, and it always feels more satisfying to sort out a problem that, on the face of it, should be fairly simple to solve rather than give up on it altogether.</p> <p>As with most people, I'm always on the look out for speeding up downloads and IDM has been unbelievably quick on some that I've used it for - so quick that, more than once, I thought that it had only downloaded a program stub of just a KB or two and was surprised to discover that it was the whole program of a few MB. That's why I'd like to persevere with it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/534#post-54350 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:25:35 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 54350@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks to the wiki's, I now have a download manager for Chrome! woohoo!

So I go to the Gamehouse home page, log in, click on today's free game and then on the start download link.</p> <p>Without IDM the small file that one ends up with in the download folder has a long name combining the name of the game + Gamehouse bits e.g. today's is House-Installer_amg-beachpartycraze_gamehouse.exe, which the Gamehouse installer then processes without a problem.</p> <p>But with IDM the file is stubbygh_en.exe which causes the installer to give an "Invalid games package" error.</p> <p>I haven't changed any of the default IDM settings, so can anyone tell me what needs to be changed to get IDM to deal with these downloads properly (I haven't had any problems with any other sites so far)? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/534#post-2555 Fri, 02 Mar 2007 13:24:31 +0000 BuBBy 2555@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Two free alternatives that I personally use and consider superior to IDM are <strong>"Flashget Classic (1.73)" </strong> and <strong>"Orbit Downloader".</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.flashget.com/index_en.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.flashget.com/index_en.htm</a><br /> <a href="http://orbitdownloader.com/" rel="nofollow">http://orbitdownloader.com/</a></p> <p>Orbit downloader is much newer product and is currently undergoing heavy development - But already it is making an impact as a popular choice over other download managers.</p> <p>Also a good <strong>feature comparison</strong> between all of the main download managers:<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_download_managers" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_download_managers</a></p> <p>Also when using <strong>Firefox</strong> - a good addon that integrates with most download managers is <strong>FlashGot.</strong></p> <p><a href="http://flashgot.net/" rel="nofollow">http://flashgot.net/</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/534#post-2549 Fri, 02 Mar 2007 12:33:14 +0000 JEG88 2549@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>"Internet Download Manager" = $25-<br /> <a href="http://www.snapfiles.com/get/idlmanager.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.snapfiles.com/get/idlmanager.html</a></p> <p>Internet Download Manager is a tool to increase download speeds, resume and schedule downloads.Internet Download Manager can also dial your modem at the set time, download the files you want,[pics,video,music,prog.,docs.],then hang up or even shut down your computer when it is done. + more......</p> <p>GAOTD:<br /> I would really like it if you could get this [or something like it].<br /> As far as I know you haven't had a Toolbar like this in a long time.[I missed the one in Dec.] So at least it would be something different. :)</p> <p>I hope you will take it into consideration;<br /> --THANKS for Everything! </p>
